Vancouver lost $1 Billion when they hosted the Olympics -Glenn Beck

You should probably go ahead and read the link (its why I gave it to people) instead of just looking at the summary sheet which I cut out as a way to illustrate that its not all doom and gloom for Olympic host cities according to many peoples analysis.

You right they did list it as a profit table, but that doesn't dismiss the data they collected. It was merely a quick search to illustrate the point that this is not a solidified matter.

Your point with posting that list appeared to be to show how disingenuous it is for comeone to only highlight information supportive of their position and to downplay or ignore information not supportive, then posted a listing that itself was deceptive in showing how much Olympics make. I'm not commenting on the veracity of Beck's assertion, or how much countries make.

But it does appeal to trend toward a lack of profitability with more recent Olympics (with the exception of China)
